DEV300 milestone can contain changes from the current release codeline. This is stated as first line in the table for
integrated CWSs. For details please see the posting
on the dev@ooo mailing list.

With CWS tlmath01 there is a new check-box named 'Math
baseline
alignment' available in the 'Formatting Aids' tab of the Writer and
WriterWeb option pages.
When this option gets checked then *ALL* Math OLE objects already
existing in the Writer document that are anchored 'as character' (and
only those with this anchor type!) will be automatically aligned to
match the baseline of the formula with the one of the surrounding
text. Also new Math objects inserted later on will be automatically
aligned as well.
As long as this option is active manually movement of Math objects
that are anchored 'as character' is not possible, and thus vertical
alignment in the 'Object' context dialog is now disabled as well.
For new documents this option is set by default. When loading old
documents it is not set. In any case, once a document gets saved again
the current value of this option will be saved along with the document.
This automatic baseline alignment was implemented by Michal Spisiak as
part of this years Google Summer of Code, the mentor for this was Eric
Bachard. Thanks to both of them!

Since the Mozilla product has long been superseded by
the SeaMonkey
suite, and the profile formats of both changed incompatibly, the
Mozilla Address Book support in OpenOffice.org has been removed, in
favor of support for the SeaMonkey address books.

misc. OOo 3.4 fixes (initially intended for the rewrite of the binary URPbridge, this CWS now contains the bugfixes relevant for OOo 3.4 whichwere found while working on the new bridge, plus some more bugfixes,while the new bridge itself is more likely targeting OOo 3.5 and has beenshifted to new CWS sb138)

Create
docking windows in the layout manager component. Docking windows should
be
usable by extensions and they should be able to provide their own
window which will
be embedded into the docking window.

Rewrite
of the RTF export filter. Now it supports nested tables, more
character
properties, sections, graphics for Wordpad, bookmarks, fields,
drawings
and OLE
objects. For more, see
